Summary

This research project, conducted in the form of a case study, utilizes questionnaires answered by a patient that are based off other Parkinson's disease rating scales, such as the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). The questions used in the study will be related to the patient's behavior/mood, daily life, and motor abilities. This data will be analyzed to determine trends in the changes that occur as a result of the drugs taken by the patient. Because the patient's symptoms will be influenced by certain drugs, this study will aim to show the biochemical changes that occur in Parkinson's patients with the effect of drugs.
